    Default Mmm - Wireless network.

    When I set up my wireless network AGES ago, my dad told me to use his details when I set it up because we didnt realise it was password securing the network so now when we are trying to get onto it we cant remember any of the account details to get on to it or to recover the password.

    Anyone have any idea of what we/I will have to do to try and get them reset/updated so I can access the wireless. Or could I set up a new network some how to connect to??

    All decent help will receive +REP.

    The only thing i can think of doing, if you can't remember the password, is doing a hard reset, which will reset the router to factory settings.

    There should be a button somewhere, or a very small one that you have to poke with a pin, it would help if you gave us your router brand and model!

    Plug it in by an ethernet wire, and go to 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.2.2. Go in and change the password.
    That went fast.

    Never argue with an idiot, he'll drag you down to his level, and beat you with experience.
